No, those tq numbers are not common. You should be making far more tq than that even especially with W/I. Those tq numbers look like Stage II tq figures. I know all dynos ready different blah, blah, but I'm just sayin.

My Stage 2 setup net me 338wtrq, so I would agree. I did expect more torque considering the meth variable too, but what do I know.

Your peak torque may be a little low, but look how long it holds a decently high torque number.. Doesn't drop off so fast, thats why you are making nice strong HP on the top end. I personally prefer this type of powerband.. some do, some don't depends on what your doing. Doesn't have quite the same mid range grunt, but I bet it pulls harder and harder as you rev it out.

Well your stock turbo is going to make massive torque because it goes into boost at such an early rpm. You really cannot compare torque figures from a really small turbo and a much larger one. Making torque later in the RPM is more difficult than making torque earlier. That is why your vehicle still making 300ft/lbs at redline is a great sign. I wonder if there is something mechanical going on that is limiting your midrange. My guess would be you need to tighten your WG but you should probably talk to Cleo and see what he recommends. An EWG will certainly help but an IWG should still perform well.

I agree, a flat torque curve is the ultimate goal, but that is assuming you're making proper torque to being with. This turbo should have much more of a slope to it while still making the same at redline as it does now.

If your turbo is capable of almost 24psi at redline and 19psi at 3500rpm, it shouldnt take 3000rpm to make up the difference.

Explain, why would you say that? I am interested in hearing your theory.

Because if by 3500 rpm you're already at 19psi it shouldn't take 1500 more rpm to get to 23 psi. If you WG is wide open trying to limit boost but can't bypass enough gas boost will continue to still build slowly.

^Exactly. As an example my previous 02 WRX w/ an 18G had a very loose actuator arm on the wastegate. The result was full boost at 5k rpm and it tapered hard to redline. After giving the bolt a few twists and putting it back on the dyno to make sure everything was happy I was making 21psi at 3700rpm.

Interesting, similar to what I am seeing, 19psi then 23psi till redline.

Well my graph looked much different than yours. Yours is still hitting hard in the early rpm but something is holding it back until you're high in the RPMs. My graph before tightening the wastegate looked like a 35R on a 2.0 WRX. It was just dead until about 5k RPM. With that said I cannot say for sure it is the WG but that is where I'd start.

Well, it turns out I discovered I had a meth leak from where the hose was connected to the hose fitting. Meth was not flowing correctly (overflow condition), and most likely air was escaping from here too.

The question is, would this impact my #'s? I am thinking yes, but a solid yes or no would be nice.
